Self Belief and Positive Thinking


happiness

If you're just starting out an online business or struggling to maintain profits, you know how discouraging and frustrating it can be. That's okay, many people feel this way at first and it most certainly is overwhelming. The thing about most successful online business owners is that they were able to keep their confidence when they were in the dumps. This is a very important aspect to keep in mind. Maintaining a positive attitude and believing in yourself can do wonders for you and your online business. Positive thinking has proven to be a very powerful and useful tool in many different situations.

When you find peace within yourself

happiness
"When you find peace within yourself,
you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."

- Peace Pilgrim
"He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe."
- Marcus Aurelius
True deep inner peace comes from your awareness of and connection to the Infinite Loving Power and Wisdom within you, from knowing that it is the only power, from following your inner guidance, looking upon everything in your world as an expression of this One Loving Power that has your best interests at heart, doing your very best and living your life with integrity.
"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able
to remake the world - that is the myth of the 'atomic age' -
as in being able to remake ourselves."

Don't take yourself too seriously

happiness

Or, put another way: "Get over yourself".
No one likes criticism and we all have fragile egos... but sometimes, when our thoughts hijack us, we can turn the simplest comments into conspiracy theories.
The truth is that not everything is about you, sometimes when people scowl at you, it's because they're unhappy inside. If a person says something to you that you don't like, you don't have to react in kind. In fact you may be able trigger transformation in another by not letting your ego take over, instead be present with that person and be compassionate.

Conscious Evolution

Conscious

Last year, I took the Evolutionary Worldview Course through Enlightennext Magazine and Andrew Cohen and later, watched the event: "A Call to Conscious Evolution, Our Moment of Choice" which was also hosted by this group. Both experiences were inspirational and eye-opening. As Deepak, one of the many renowned speakers at the Evolutionary Leaders' event, said: "... the only way to transform the world is to transform yourself.." and "... even well-meaning activism is often coming from a place of outrage rather that creative consciousness.."

We are all one

humanity

When you take steps to be present, become committed to not 'be your ego' or run by your thoughts, to be grateful for the people in your life, and to create your reality then you will start to sense more and more that you are not alone but a part of something much greater, the collective spirit of humanity.
Even the latest scientific breakthroughs with respect to quantum consciousness and unified field theory are demonstrating that the universe and everything in it, ourselves included, are interconnected by a vast field of energy.
In this collective space, love and contribution become natural which in turn can fuel harmony and peace in your life.

Choose your Life

Choose your Life

This is another perspective on "Follow your Bliss". Sometimes, it's not our outside circumstances that need to change but our interior dimension.
I took a course called the Landmark Forum many years ago, and this was a key concept after three long days of workshop. It correlates back to the idea that 'your thoughts create your reality'.
When you declare that your life, your spouse, your children, your job, your world are all exactly what you always wanted, then they will become that for you

Follow your Bliss

Follow your Bliss

One of Joseph Campbell's famous quotations...
Many will say that they would love to follow their bliss but they have to pay the bills, don't have time, it's too late to change course, or any other number of excuses.
I would contend that for many of us, we don't really know what our 'bliss' is. Of course, it seems like it must be the greener grass on the other side. Certainly, the idea of walking away from a tough job and living in luxury seems blissful - but this is not what Campbell intended.

Practice Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Oprah and others, have defined Forgiveness as recognizing that you can't change the past. We hold onto a lot of resentment and in the end, who does it hurt? We hurt ourselves more than anyone else. Accepting what has happened and creating the space to move on can be a powerful step forward.
Sometimes, particularly if you have been a victim of crime or abuse, whatever happened may seem 'unforgiveable'. In these cases, remember that forgiveness does not mean you have to let that person back into your life but it can release you from the hold that this has on you.

Trust that the universe is unfolding as it should


Or perhaps an easier way to say this is, Have Faith. Sometimes in our darkest hours, when nothing seems to be going as we had wanted or expected, we can't see this. We want only to fight against what is. Everything will not always go our way but, if you trust life and let it unfold, as Mick Jagger said, "you just might get what you need".

Be Grateful

Grateful

Expressing gratitude, especially if you can make it a daily practice to declare everything you are grateful for in your life, can create positive self-affirming thoughts instead of negative ones and align your attention to everything that is good in your life. This alone can be transformational. Many current thought leaders and spiritual teachers encourage people to keep a gratitude journal.

Your Thoughts Create your Reality

Create your Reality

When you start to understand that you are not your thoughts, that you are a being with a powerful inner spirit that happens to also have a brain that does what brains do, non-stop generation of thoughts, you can step back and observe this and take control. Consider how you can choose how your brain operates just as you make these decisions about using your arm or your fingers or your eyes every day of your life.
The realization that you actually could control and direct your thoughts to create whatever reality you choose can open up a whole new world. If, for example, you tell yourself that you cannot succeed at something - then you probably won't. So, the obvious question is why tell yourself that? And yet we do it all the time..

Be Present , Be Here Now, Be Happy

Be Happy

Studies suggest we have somewhere between 12,000 to 65,000 thoughts per day, although I've seen reference to a wider range (between 2,000 to 600,000!). Most commonly, 50-60,000 is considered a good estimate.
Being human means being inundated with thoughts all day, every day: endless observations, judgements, interpretations, complaints, worries, 'what-ifs', memories, regrets, wishes, desires, dreams about our future, anger about our past, and on and on. I've seen statistics indicating 95% of them are similar from day to day. Some thoughts seem completely random, others can hijack us as we follow a thread and let our emotions react to what are sometimes completely irrational, twisted versions of reality. For me, it has been a major breakthrough to understand that I am NOT my thoughts. For too long, my thoughts ran me. They still try to, every single day, but I am watching them now. I used to look to my thoughts for meaning, wondering why I was suddenly upset when nothing had happened.

Application for HAPPINESS

HAPPINESS

Wouldn't be amazing to have an app for happiness? You just get your smart phone and then click on the app and Voila, you are happy. If someone can come up with that application and sell it in the market, it would be THE MOST popular download ever invented. Would love to be the one who creates that app. But let's just think of that for a moment. Create the "Happiness" application. Well, what if I tell you that everyone is a creator of that app, everyone can be happy based on their day to day activities and with one touch (thought I should say), YOU ARE HAPPY. Everyone needs to learn how to increase their level of joy and happiness and how to see and focus on the good things in your life.

Choose the happy path

happy path

A person lives with one second at a time. Each day we have 86,400 second to spend them the way we choose. After you factor out the time you are asleep you still have a lot of seconds each day. If I told you that you can invest 86,400 dollars and get 2,000,000 dollars in return you would jump on the offer. Same thing with our time. Our time is worth more than money, you have to invest it properly. Invest your seconds for appreciation, gratitude, joy, accomplishment, growth, development of your character, and other things. Let yourself live a good life and you yourself will enhance the lives of the people around.

Motivation for happiness

happiness

Motivation for happiness is cultivated in two ways: Positive and Negative. Most people are familiar with negative motivation and don’t even realize it. One good example of negative motivation in my life is exercising. When you think about the reason people exercise, how many people do you know that exercise for the sheer enjoyment of it? Not many. One main reason people exercise is to lose weight. While some people try and lose weight for health reasons, it is fair to say that lots of people are motivated to lose weight so they can look more beautiful. Can you see how it is negatively motivated? They aren’t exercising out of anything positive.

Finding Happiness

Finding Happiness


Are you one of the many people who desperately want to change your life and find happiness but get stuck afraid? Its ok, it happens to the best of us. However, you must move through fear if you really want to transform your life and create the peace and joy you know you can have.
Fear is generated through thoughts in your mind like “what if”. They are the thoughts that warn you that something potentially bad could happen. Another way fear is generated is by our mind replaying past events in our lives. Lots of times, these events didn’t have the best outcomes and you probably don’t ever want to experience them again.

Have you chosen Happiness ?


Happiness

People usually mess up their lives by comparing themselves to others, or by comparing events to others they experienced before. For example, we know of those people that like to brag about where they have traveled to, the places they have stayed, the things they have eaten, and more. We know that it can always be a challenge to keep up with those types of people. However, we know you will just be living your life as a race to keep up with other people.

My happiness was my job

Happiness

'I thought I'd be Happier' was a statement from a someone about a week after her divorce was finalized. Even though we'd had been discussing that happiness is an 'inside' job; she was certain that once her divorce was finalized that would catapult her into happiness.
How often we rely on external events, things or people to 'make' us happy. We say 'Life will finally be good when blank happens.' I've seen it with life events of a new job, marriage, or a new baby. When I was married, it was when we buy the house, make a certain level of income or when we go on that next vacation.
The events come and go and we may experience a brief period of happiness; but then we settle back into the same old yucky feelings.
So how do you become Happy?

How do I become happy in life


happy

How do I become happy in life... This is the question of all questions. Everyone is searching for happiness in life and everyone discovers happiness differently. In one way or another, happiness is found within you. Happiness directly relates to your ability to love. So essentially if you want to know how to learn to be happy in life, you must learn to love more.

Happiness is a personal choice


Happiness

Happiness like success is very often misunderstood and too many people think that happiness is a function of how much money you have. Most people wrongly believe that if you make enough money, you can buy happiness. I have had the experience of pursuing money at the expense of everything else in my life and woke up one day with a very empty life and no one to share my life with me.

find yourself on the way to a happier life


a happier life

Does life sometimes get you down? Here are 15 more things to do that could make you happier.
1. Follow your gut instinct. Research has shown that people who follow their instincts are happier with the decisions they have made. If you have a decision to make and have your choices down to two or three options, pick the one that feels right to you. Never regret the decisions you make.
2. Make enough money to cover your basic needs. Research shows that money that you make beyond this will not make you any happier. While it increases your comfort that is not what makes people happy.
3. Forgive. Research shows that forgiving can improve your cardiovascular health and lowers your stress levels.

4 keys to unlock the happiness within you


happiness

The first key is to find the value of every experience in your life. We may not have been taught this, in fact it can seem quite natural to complain, blame and project our unhappy experiences into the world and to those around us. The problem with that is that we lose the ability to take our power back in these situations. By recognizing the value in any perceived negative experience we naturally improve the energy of it. Everything is energy, so by taking the time to value, feel grateful and appreciate the bad times, see the gift in the situation, we automatically re-align ourselves with our natural state of well-being, which is happiness.

List of Things you Can do to Help Others


Be Happy


Here is a short list of things you can do to help others:
1. Love unconditionally. We are all looking for this. Finding ways to show that you care about others without reserve, expectations, or consequences will help more than anything else.
2. Help someone in need. Have you ever had a flat, and needed help getting it fixed, yet no one stopped...don't be that person. Do what you can be it just offering a phone to make a call, a ride to get some gas, or a few bucks to help get a new tire.
3. Compliment someone. Sometimes all someone needs to have a great day is to hear that they have a nice pair of shoes, a good outfit, etc.

get courage and become happier


become happier


To begin to better your life you have to establish and control your courage. Having courage will help you take risks so you will have a brighter future, and make those dreams come true. Put those fears behind you, be brave and admit to yourself that you have these fears that are stopping you become the person you want to be. Do not let fear control you, take charge and control those fears. This is how to get courage and become happier.

It's never hard to find help


happy

"People are happy helping. It's never hard to find help. It is only hard to know that it's time to ask."
Maurice Sendak, Brundibar
As one who is reluctant to ask for help, Sendak's quote struck home.
If you have children, you probably know who Maurice Sendak is. If you pay attention to the news, you probably know that Maurice Sendak died at the age of 83 on May 8th. Sendak was a children's author. Perhaps his best known book was "Where The Wild Things Are."
I didn't realize what an amazing man he was until I heard Fresh Air on NPR with Terry Gross on May 8th. Terry replayed four interviews she had done with Sendak over the years.
Brundibar" (2003), with text by the playwright Tony Kushner, is based on an opera performed by the children of the Theresienstadt concentration camp. The opera, also called "Brundibar," had been composed in 1938 by Hans Krasa, a Czech Jew who later died in Auschwitz.

THE INFLUENCE OF HAPPINESS


HAPPINESS

"Be happy, talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others."
Helen Keller
It was Helen Keller's belief that God gave us life for happiness, not misery, despite our predilection to wallow in thoughts for suffering that mere existence offers up serenely each day. Perhaps her point is we can take what we want - happiness or negativity.
So why would we insist on glumness when joyfulness can be our order? It's because we are given to complaint; we need to fight past this in order to redeem happiness.
